I picked this rare SS Duck Bill helmet in a basement type antique shop in down town Copenhagen Denmark in the late 70's and knew right away it stood a damn good chance of being the real deal which I still do.... Other wise known as the "Himmler" helmet as he is seen in period early photo's wearing this style of helmet....even during the early Nazi days in the 30's HH wore this style of helmet. ****After some research I determined the helmet was produced in the 20's....not WW1..! Due to the Versailles treaty it is un-marked.....most likely produced for the early Reichswehr in a light green color over its red-ish primmer.......and converted for early SS pre-decal days .....having known hand painted SS runes.....tested for old lead based oil paint.. The outer shell is painted in thick high gloss black paint showing expected wear....while the inside is text book done in black below the liner and leaving the lighter green paint used by the Army.... The helmet retains its orignal rive

Under full disclosure 1st and foremost I will state that I am not a helmet collector. Therefore use your own judgement and expertise in this field to come to your own conclusion regarding this piece. This helmet is sold as is w/o return or refund. Please allow the photos to be your best description. Will consider best offer and or best trade for WW2 KL Textiles. Listing tonight what appears to be an original authentic WW2 German SS Allgermeine double decal black helmet. The decals I am told is what always comes into question with Nazi helmets. I was told that it is a period 1935. The lining buttons are alittle loose. The lining and chin strap were very dry so I have been applying alittle leather conditioner. The inner helmet metal was very dusty which was cleaned with a damp rag.. This piece origin was bought overseas no other history or provenance is known. There is some type of manufacturer number reverse backside upper lip of helmet. The helmet size is for a very small soldier.
It is possible I can match your helmets condition to a strap.
These are all a complete original war era set in serviceable condition. I even have a couple dead mint ones. .
"Soft Helmet Parts" Almost never found unbroken, in the wild!

This is an original WWII German Model 40 (stamped air hole and crimped or hammered edge) single decal. camo, chicken wire helmet. Black leather chinstrap and nine-finger liner. It is pretty and has a beautiful patina. I can't prove it but the U.S. Army vet I bought this from told me he picked it up in Normandy. Priority shipping by USPS is free to any address in the lower 48 states. Payment by Money Order only. Send payment to Jemison Beshears, 43 Melrose Ave., San Francisco, CA 94131. I have owned this helmet for 25 years. Would consider partial trade IF it is WWII U-boat related (photo album, clock, tauchretter, etc.)
I am selling off my nearly forty year collection of 1,600+ pieces of mixed Third Reich Militaria. I will do my best to inform you of the provenance of each piece if I know it. Some pieces will not be guaranteed because there are simply too many fakes. If they ARE NOT guaranteed it will be stated in the description.
This is the Luftschutz M38 "Gladiator" Helmet (Reichsluftschutzbund (RLB) Stahlhelm fur einen Angehorigen der Fabrikwache). It is constructed in three pieces, stamped, sheet steel helmet which retains most of its original, smooth, dark satin blue paint. The front center of the helmet has a Luftschutz emblem decal with about 85% remaining (there is some loss of the bottom section of the swastika). The black detailed, silver decal features stylized spread wings with a central oak-leaf sprig and a canted swastika positioned below a scripted banner, "Luftschutz." The helmet has two groups of seven "salt & pepper" ventilation holes to either side of the crown. All three
have 6 Luftschutz helmets, all mottos clearly readable and they have liners. Some have chinstraps. Have 5 coal black ones (as shown in the example) and 1 medium blue helmet. When I was a kid, I used to ride around on a bike with my Luftschutz helmet (not one of these) Kids in the neighborhood would comment, Hotsy totsi, we got a New Nazi. All gladiator style helmets, good for display in a collection. Cost is per helmet.
